Graduation is over

My grandson is only 11, graduated from Elementary School. The day was picture perfect, everyone was their perfect self, leaving all issues at home for this special day. His parents are divorced and his dad came. I was so happy for grandson that everyone was there. It was a special day for him. He is so excited about Middle School, can't wait for the Summer to be over so he can start back to school! At that point, I checked his head to see if he had a fever or something. LOL! He said there was to be a surprise at his graduation and boy, were we surprised. I thought perhaps he might have received an award for the best reader, but nope, someone else received that one. What he did receive was an award for school spirit.. There were 3 5th grade classes graduating. Now we've always known he was probably the class clown, but this award examplified (sp) a student who had leadership and showed compassion with/to his fellow students. The entire class cheered when his name was called. Thanks for listening to me brag about my life's breath, my grandson.

Finding Long Lost Online Friends

This blog hopping sure can be interesting. Back in my early days of card making, I belonged to a now defunk message board. We had a group of ladies who did a one-on-one card exchange each week. I met this lovely lady and we exchanged cards and life's stories. She developed breast cancer and due to her treatment, she dropped out of sight. All of us ladies wondered how she was doing but never received answers to our emails. Eventually, that board ceased to exist and we all moved on to other places and new friends. Well, don't you know, I found her blog and could not believe it was her. My joy at finding out she had beat the cancer and was back at making cards was overwhelming. It is so strange how we can have a feeling for someone we barely know, but will think about so often about after touch has been lost. Has anyone else found a long lost friend through blogging or a message board?
